Holiday Greetings
You Say It’s Your Birthday
Friday, July 4th, 2008Happy Birthday to the United States and to all those firecracker babies who celebrate July 4th as the day they made their appearance in the world (you know who you are!). Have a great day everyone and remember to enjoy those American traditions: baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and fireworks.
I hope you all have a […]
Happy Father’s Day
Sunday, June 15th, 2008I’d like to wish my wonderful hubby a fantastic Father’s Day…as well as a happy day to all the other great fathers out there.
Saturday in the Park
Saturday, June 14th, 2008I think it was the 4th of July…
Or Flag Day, actually. Today is the 231st anniversary of the adoption of the United States flag - and today is also the 233rd birthday of the United States Army. This is a good time to think about the men and women in our various military branches who […]
A Day of Thanks
Thursday, November 22nd, 2007May your day be restful, your dinner plentiful, and your family time joyous. Remember the brave men and women of our military and their families. Help the less fortunate whenever possible. And don’t forget to be thankful for all the little things that make life so special.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Birthday, U.S.A.
Wednesday, July 4th, 2007This may be old-fashioned of me, but July 4th still makes me feel patriotic and nostalgic. Today is the day when I feel the need to have barbecued hot dogs and potato salad, with homemade apple pie and ice cream for dessert, while watching a baseball game (preferably the Cubs at Wrigley) - and I […]
Happy Father’s Day
Sunday, June 17th, 2007Hubby and I went for a bike ride to breakfast this morning, a total of 1.6 miles (half of that uphill) at an average speed of 6.6 mph. During our ride, I was pleased to find that my sense of balance has returned to the point where I can ride with no hands again, […]
Memorial Day - A Test of Freedom
Monday, May 28th, 2007Today we remember those who have fallen in military service to our country. Dating back to the Civil War era of the 1860s, Memorial Day has become more well-known to many modern Americans as the official start to the summer season: a time for beer, barbecue, and the Indy 500. My own thoughts […]
A Quick Check-In
Tuesday, May 1st, 2007This week is going to be very crazy since the Reno Film Festival starts on Thursday morning. If anyone reading this happens to be in the area this coming weekend, check out our website because we have some fun events and guests.
The entire Board is having a hectic week. My area of expertise is handling […]
Happy Easter
Sunday, April 8th, 2007Greetings to everyone who celebrates the holiday in either the religious or non-religious sense. To me, Easter brings to mind memories of attending mass adorned in a new spring dress, shiny Mary Janes and white lacy socks, white gloves, a hat, and a little purse. My family would visit my grandparents later in the […]
Good Friday
Friday, April 6th, 2007Though I never really felt I belonged to the religion into which I was baptised, I did attend services and catechism on occasion so I take note when a day like today comes up. Good Friday to me today is actually more of a reminder that I lost both and uncle and a grandmother during […]
